May 13: Pentecostalist predictions

In 1916, the Assemblies of God Council, embracing hundreds of Pentecostal ministries from across the United States, was just two years old. In its May 13 Weekly Evangel, the council claimed the advent of the Great War had marked the beginning of the End Times, with Armageddon to occur in 1935. The council would go on to make a number of similar failed predictions.
